Long Beach City College is considering severely reducing -- and perhaps nearly eliminating -- its summer class offerings this year due to budget cuts, college officials said Thursday.
Instead of offering three summer sessions, as it did in 2009, the college may offer only one, six-week session, occurring mid--June through July, said LBCC Superintendent-President Eloy Ortiz Oakley.
And even that single session likely will be reduced in scope, possibly to include only those vocational courses required during the summer as part of year-round programs, he added.
